Daddy time
The best part of my day, besides being home with my adorable little boy, is when Tyler gets home from work. The minute Tyler walks in the door he is so excited to see Cade and spend his quality daddy time. It is so amazing watching Tyler with Cade, I fall more in love with him each day as I watch him love all over our son.
1st Bath
Today our friend Jane came over to take photos of Cade. To get ready for his big photo opp we had to get him all clean, so we had our 1st bath and Cade totally hated it. The poor guy screamed his head off the entire time.
But now he smells so tasty!

Cade Jordan
Well after 9 months Cade has finally made his entrance into the world.
My labor was hard but I was able to do it with out any medications which was one of my goals. I started having contractions in the afternoon on the 9th, I left work at lunch because my they were getting closer together. It wasn't until about 2am that I really felt like my labor was starting, I woke Tyler up so we could time my contractions, sure enough they were every 5 min lasting 35-50 seconds and getting stronger! We checked into the hospital at 4:30 and I was dilated to 6.5 and was 90% effaced. I felt all the contractions in my back so I spent the majority of my labor on the birthing ball or leaning over the bed. After about 5 hours my contractions let up and my labor stalled, that is when the doctor decided to break my water. This really got things going! By 12:15 I was dilated to a 10 and ready to push! Push.... oh my gosh, this was the longest, hardest, most tiring thing I have ever done. It ended up that Cade was facing the wrong direction I think they called it OP, so I wasn't making much progress on getting him out. After 2 hrs of pushing the doctor decided to use the vacuum to assist him out. 30 min later our son entered the world!

God has given us a son to raise and take care of.
